Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that.

  • -- Suzanne Vega 苏珊·薇格

有时我听一些非常聪明的作家写的歌,他们认为世界是一个文明的地方,人们遵循一定的礼节,但我不这么认为。我自己的经验告诉我,生活不是那样的。
